6 to 14 Year Old Program
The Chilmark Community Center offers 6 to 14 year old children a variety of activities from 9:00 – 12:00 with the children split into the following age groups:
6-YEAR OLD PROGRAM
This program welcomes new six-year-olds to the Center. On the first day of the program, a child must be six years old. The staff engages kids in structured activities that emphasize cooperation such as games, nature activities, drama, arts and crafts, sports, and creative movement.
7- TO 9- YEAR OLD PROGRAM
Designed for children who are ready for some responsibility, this program includes arts & crafts, sports, nature studies, drama and other structured activities. It also allows children some choice in what they do.
10 - TO 12- YEAR OLD PROGRAM
This program provides activities that appeal to the eclectic interests of this age group. While plenty of time is devoted to sports and games, the program is intended to be flexible and includes group projects and mentoring activities with younger children. Weekly adventure outings are an option as well. The kids are encouraged to help choose and develop activities.
13- to 14-YEAR OLD PROGRAM
This program emphasizes staff training, skill building, and work on
community projects. It is designed to give older kids some experience in working with younger children at the Center, while they are supervised by older staff. This year teens will have fun coordinating some fundraising events for both their own activities as well as a community cause of their choosing. Keep your eyes open for Junk Food Days and a few sunny Saturday afternoon car washes!
